Civil engineering infrastructure like roads, bridges, railway tracks, and building structures constructed on fat clay becomes suspicious due to adverse change in the behavior of such soil on interaction with water. To solve such problems especially in underdeveloped countries, application of industrial waste like glass is associated with technical, financial, and environmental benefits. Emphasis of current study is to determine the consequences of powdered glass (GC) on mechanical behavior of fat clay. A fat clayey sample was collected from location of Nandipur, and glass was taken from local glass market in powdered form. Samples were remolded at optimum moisture content and maximum dry unit weight by mixing GC up to 14%. Soil classification tests, modified compaction tests, unconfined compression tests, one-dimensional consolidation tests, California bearing ratio (CBR) tests, and scanning electron microscope were performed. With increasing GC, the consistency limits, compression characteristics, swell characteristics, and optimum moisture content decreased while maximum dry unit weight, yield stress, CBR, and unconfined compression strength increased. Influence of GC is also observed on microstructure of treated clay. After 12% GC, aforementioned geotechnical characteristics behave inversely for selected clay. The optimum GC-value for the tested clay is about 12%, however, this value may vary from clay to clay.

土木工程基础设施，如道路，桥梁，铁轨和在脂肪粘土上建造的建筑结构，由于这种土壤在与水相互作用时的行为发生了不利变化，因此变得可疑。为了解决这些问题，尤其是在不发达国家，将玻璃等工业废料的应用与技术，经济和环境收益相关联。当前研究的重点是确定粉末玻璃（GC）对脂肪黏土力学行为的影响。从楠迪普尔（Nandipur）地点收集了一个脂肪黏土样品，并从当地玻璃市场以粉末形式提取了玻璃。通过混合多达14％的GC，以最佳水分含量和最大干燥单位重量对样品进行重塑。土壤分类测试，改良压实测试，无边压缩测试，一维固结测试，进行了加利福尼亚承载比（CBR）测试和扫描电子显微镜。随着GC的增加，稠度极限，压缩特性，溶胀特性和最佳水分含量降低，而最大干重，屈服应力，CBR和无限制压缩强度则增加。还观察到GC对处理过的粘土的微观结构的影响。在12％GC后，上述岩土特性对选定的粘土表现出相反的作用。对于测试的粘土，最佳GC值约为12％，但是，该值可能因粘土而异。无边压缩强度增加。还观察到GC对处理过的粘土的微观结构的影响。在12％GC后，上述岩土特性对选定的粘土表现出相反的作用。对于测试的粘土，最佳GC值约为12％，但是，该值可能因粘土而异。无边压缩强度增加。还观察到GC对处理过的粘土的微观结构的影响。在12％GC后，上述岩土特性对选定的粘土表现出相反的作用。对于测试的粘土，最佳GC值约为12％，但是，该值可能因粘土而异。
